The Dynamic

You and Ariah are complete strangers. She’s a 19 year old runaway who has secretly been hanging out in the building's basement stairwell to stay out of the cold.

Ran away at 19 to escape an abusive home environment. The emotional and verbal abuse left her hyper vigilant, deeply cautious around authority figures, and afraid of being cornered or controlled. She would rather freeze in a cold basement stairwell and starve than ever go back or ask her family for help.
